CARRION (2020)

 


(Director/screenwriter: Michael Zaiko Hall. Story by Oliver Caspersen.)

Storyline

A young woman arrives at her cousin’s house after a ten-year absence. As dark, past-related events occur someone in the dark woods stalks them.

 

Review

Despite its effective bookend scenes and its sometimes-interesting visual effects, this hour-and-fifteen-minute tale of a psychic woman, her skeevy parents and her subjected-to-Russian-experiments cousin is an overlong, muddled mess. Unnecessary, trying-to-be-edgy jump-cut scenes jar the flow, the second half is an overlong, nonsensical mess (as if first-time-full-feature director, Michael Zaiko Hall, is trying to catch a truncated David Lynch vibe), and a tone-jarring“twist” about incest further flaws this movie. The acting ranges from good (Jenya Chaplin and Kay Coburn) to execrable (Oliver Caspersen).

 Would not recommend this one.
